Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
Hello voluminous lashes 😍 I’ve been using this for years now (I use the waterproof version because it holds my curl) its not flaky or clumpy and it gives you amazing volume
Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara
Lips
Already on my 3rd tube of this because I use it so often 😅 The shade Hydra Honey is SO pretty, the stain it leaves behind is like my lips but better😍 Also hello on hydrating my lips?! This moisture LASTS too, I’m obsessed.
LIP STAIN
I’ve been loving lip stains so I don’t have to worry about touch ups- this is a great one! *It’s not drying* which is super important to me, I love the shade range and the pretty color it leaves my lips 💋
Glossy Lip Stain
Face
Ok I never used to use primer because the ones I had tried before either broke me out or seemingly did nothing for my makeup. THIS however? I’ve gone through tubes of this magic. It’s grippy, moisturizing without being oily, doesn’t break me out, an...
Power Grip Primer
YES. Hello these are only a couple bucks and work SO well?! Whether you want to cover redness or dark spots or even lighten up foundation that’s too dark- here’s your gal!
HD Pro.Conceal
Creamy full coverage concealer, a little goes a long way and you can build it up! There’s the hydrating and matte version of their concealer so depending on the look I’m going for I’ll reach for either one!
Face Concealer & Color Corrector Makeup

Soft Glam Foundation - Medium Coverage
There’s a reason this won awards! It’s buildable, blendable, and natural looking. Perfect cream bronzer in my opinion
Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
Make it last indeeeed. This gives me a confidence boost knowing my makeup isn’t gonna budge throughout the day. There’s also a regular/non matte version too that’s incredible. JUST MAKE SURE YOU SHAKE IT VERY WELL! I haven’t had any issues personally...
Make It Last Matte - Matte Finish Charcoal Setting Spray
These are so pigmented but blend out SO good! I use the shade Dusty Rose most often but I also have Coral Crush that looks good in the summer 😊
Camo Liquid Blush
Brows
Brows on fleeeeek 😎 I use shade Espresso and I love that it doesn’t give an unnatural warm undertone like I have found a lot of brow pencils/markers do 🙌🏼 I also use this as a lighter eyeliner sometimes when I don’t want to do bold black
Weekend Brow Eyebrow Tint
Perfect brow shade for me- I use shade Deep Brown. I’ve noticed a lot of brow pencils tend to turn a warmer color on me which looks crazy, not this pencil! It’s a perfect neutral
Best Eyebrow Pencil - Instant Lift Brow Pencil
This along with Milani brow pen is so so good. I love them both equally!
Lift & Snatch! Eyebrow Pen | NYX Professional Makeup

Brushes/Tools
This is the foundation brush that switched me over from being a strictly Beauty Blender/sponge user. Its makes my foundation look so much nicer and seamless
Foundation Buffing Brush - Vegan & Cruelty Free
So so good for blending out liquid and cream blushes, it’s soft and dense so you can be precise on your blush placement
